Using a TTI course nozzle instead of the older style course nozzles can reduce spray fines by 90%. Not a believer? Check out Jeremy Rennick of Croplands demonstration #SOS_NSW https://t.co/KHxuatkmJh

A new addition to our weather station project is real time inversion monitoring across the district. Another powerful tool for safer spraying and better decision making.
